猪油酸-急性肺损伤模型的建立

试验以猪为试验对象建立油酸-急性肺损伤模型。对油酸的注射剂量、宰杀方式进行比较优选;然后选取12头50日龄的猪,随机分为对照组和油酸组;处理后观察猪的呼吸状况,并在处理后不同时相点（1、3和6 h）宰杀猪,对肺组织的结构变化和肺含水量进行观察分析。结果表明,与对照组相比,注射适量油酸后,猪呼吸方式由胸腹式呼吸变为急促的腹式呼吸,呼吸频率明显升高;在注射后的3个时相点剖检发现,油酸组猪的肺组织出现典型急性肺损伤的病理形态。因此,在本试验条件下,以0.05 ml/kg体重,少量分次,耳静脉注射油酸成功建立了油酸-急性肺损伤模型,为进一步开展有关猪肺损伤及肺免疫防御的研究奠定了基础。     

Progress on role of CCN1 in pulmonary diseases

Cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61/CCN1) is an extracellular matrix-associated signaling protein consisting of 381 amino-acid residues, which has the regulatory function for a multitude of cellular responses. The pleiotropic effects of CCN1 on the initiation and resolution of inflammation as well as oncogenesis and development of tumor were reported. According to the numerous data from experimental and clinical studies, this article provides an overview on CCN1 and summarizes the latest understanding of the role of CCN1 in pulmonary diseases.     

An improved method to develop cell culture model of intermittent hypoxia

AIM: To establish and validate a novel model of cultured cells for imitating intermittent hypoxia. METHODS: In a chamber with experiment cabin and simulated air control cabin, the frequency and duration of the intermittent hypoxia model according to the time of hypoxia and reoxygenation were evaluated. The A549 cells were randomly divided into 7 groups, named as control (Con) group, 6 h intermittent hypoxia (6IH) group, 9 h intermittent hypoxia (9IH) group, 6 h simulated air control (6AC) group, 9 h simulated air control (9AC) group, 4 h sustained hypoxia (4SH) group, 6 h sustained hypoxia (6SH) group, respectively. When the model was established, the cellular morphology was observed under inverted microscope. The mRNA expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α was detected by real-time PCR. The protein expression of HIF-1α was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The intermittent hypoxia cycle (5% O₂ 60 min-20% O₂ 30 min for 6 cycles) was established. The damaged A549 cells were observed in 6IH group, 9IH group and 6SH group. Compared with 6IH group, the expression of HIF-1α at mRNA and protein levels was significantly increased in 9IH group (P<0.05). The expression of HIF-1α at mRNA and protein levels in 6IH group and 9IH group was higher than that in 4SH group and 6SH group, respectively (P<0.05). No significant difference among the control group, 6AC group and 9AC group was found. CONCLUSION: The model (5% O₂ 60 min-20% O₂ 30 min for 6 cycles) can simulate the pathological process of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. This model is suitable for studying intermittent hypoxia in adherent cells.

茶氨酸衍生物茶溴香酰胺脂质体对人肺癌细胞 生长和迁移的抑制作用

为了探索研究茶氨酸衍生物茶溴香酰胺制备的脂质体(TBrC-L)对人非小细胞肺癌A549细胞生长和迁移的抑制作用与其分子机制,采用薄膜分散法制备了TBrC-L,通过MTT法检测不同浓度的TBrC-L对人肺癌A549细胞生长的抑制作用;使用流式细胞术检测TBrC-L对人肺癌A549细胞凋亡的诱导作用;利用Transwell chamber法观察TBrC-L对人肺癌A549细胞迁移作用的影响;应用蛋白质印迹法检测人肺癌A549细胞中与凋亡和生长密切相关蛋白的表达和药物可能的作用靶点。实验结果显示,TBrC-L对人肺癌A549细胞生长和迁移有显著的抑制作用,促进肿瘤细胞凋亡、抑制肿瘤细胞生长和迁移可能是其抗人肺癌作用的重要机制,其作用的分子机制涉及到抑制EGFR、VEGFR1、VEGFR~2和Met受体介导的Akt和NF-κB信号传导通路,本研究结果提示,TBrC-L具有应用于临床治疗和(或)辅助治疗人肺癌的潜力。     

Evidence of synergy with ‘stacked’ intrarow cultivation tools

Intrarow cultivation efficacy is often low and highly variable. As the mechanisms affecting weed mortality likely vary by tool, several companies have developed cultivators with the ability to use several different intrarow tools at once. We evaluated the potential for such ‘stacking’ of cultivation tools to increase efficacy. We used different sequences of torsion weeders, finger weeders and row harrows in a test crop of maize with surrogate weeds, Sinapis alba and Panicum miliaceum. Most tool combinations resulted in an additive increase in efficacy compared with the individual tools, but the combination of torsion–finger–row harrow demonstrated a synergistic increase in efficacy. In separate experiments, forward speed, soil moisture and weed size were negatively correlated with efficacy, but the torsion–finger–row harrow combination continued to demonstrate a synergistic increase in efficacy compared with the individual tools in 7 of 11 cases. The drawback was high crop mortality (16.0 ± 1.16%); further mechanistic research is needed to reduce crop mortality while maintaining high mean efficacy, through tool design, adjustment and cultural factors.

国医大师张学文辨治肺癌经验

国医大师张学文认为肺癌是因毒邪侵淫、情志内伤等导致脏腑失调,正气虚弱,气滞血瘀,痰浊内生,毒痰瘀互结,壅结于肺,日久恶变成癌积,临床从气阴亏虚型、热毒内蕴型、痰浊内阻型、毒瘀互结型、阴阳两虚型辨治。治当扶正祛邪,以益气养阴、活血散结、化痰解毒为原则,并应将扶正祛邪贯穿肺癌治疗的全过程。
